A Charleston garden shaped by a life

Set on Church Street in Charleston, South Carolina, Emily Whaley’s garden is presented alongside the personal outlook developed over a long life. In conversation with William Baldwin, Whaley reflects on cultivating both a garden and a practical philosophy. The book’s interest lies in that connection: gardening becomes a way to consider how a person meets and shapes the circumstances life brings. It also preserves Whaley’s distinctive voice, making her perspective central to this account of a private garden and the life’s work behind it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Gardeners interested in regional gardens and the people who shape them.
  • Readers drawn to conversational reflections on gardening and personal philosophy.
